Saturday 12th July : 1pm - 10.30pm

 

Since 2002, from the age of 11, Callum has been in various bands with regularly changing members. In 2005 James joined as the drummer and with a bass player the 3 piece band became 'Jaded'.

 

While on holiday in Cornwall in August 2006 and attending the Unleashed Festival at Watergate Bay, Callum, James and Guy decided to start a new band and with theaddition of Matt in September 2006 'Fake The Attack' was formed.

 

With a new enthusiasm for music and a desire to succeed, the band began writing songs and rehearsing. After a few live shows they began recording with Andy Jones as engineer and producer.

 

The 'Fake The Attack' myspace site has attracted considerable interest and the band are now working on new songs and ideas to promote themselves and their art.

 

The future for 'Fake The Attack' is looking good. With support and encouragement from the fans, the band are regularly playing live shows and continue to write new material.

 

'Fake The Attack' look forward to seeing you at Basingstoke Live!!!!!

 

Love FTA!

 

 

 

Boydidgood are a four piece band from Reading who formed shortly after leaving school. Less than 9 months later, the band had played their first London shows, headlining at prestigious venues The Hope & Anchor, Islington, The Dublin Castle, Camden & The Rhythm Factory, Whitechapel, continuing to go from strength to strength as a band.

 

Their following was getting bigger and more dedicated by the minute and some fantastic gigs led up to the band playing their first Birmingham show at The NEC Arena!! Playing the Kerrang Stage at The Clothes Show at the NEC and becoming Blah Blah magazine’s featured band in Dec 07 proved that the band could more than dominate the big stage and they began looking forward to what 2008 would bring.

 

So far, 2008 has already seen the band complete their first studio recording, the Enemies & Friends EP. 250 copies of the EP were pressed and snapped up in little under a month to brilliant levels of critical and fan based acclaim. The track ‘You, Me & The Other Three’ featured on the 100% Reading CD, making the cut above over a thousand songs and artists who had submitted their demos.

 

This tight Reading 4 piece have an incredible stage presence and amongst a

rapidly evolving national music scene which seems to recklessly embrace the

pretentious and churlishly alternative, Boydidgood stand out with a strikingly genuine and heartfelt belief in their music which they love to write, record and play. Of late, the band’s sound has been likened to Arctic Monkeys, Biffy Clyro & Queens Of The Stone Age yet it would seem that they continue to surprise their regular audiences with every note and lyric they write.

 

 

 

A new duo from Reading in Berkshire, The Elks comprise Mark Lyons (ex Chuck) and Jason Aplin (ex Bennett).

 

With albums, NME, John Peel Sessions, nationwide tours and a stack of experience behind them – The Elks intend to bring a touch of humour to the festival along with lyrics drenched in irony and fabulous two part harmonies.

 

 

 

Scenesters, posers, try-hards and rock and roll frauds look out – there’s a new band in town, with pretension in their sights and more than enough ammo to take it down.

 

Reading’s pop chancers Hello Wembley aren’t here to make friends. They’re

controversial. They like to antagonise. They’re a tongue-in-cheek riposte to the thin veneer of style that so many bands hide behind.

 

“When we started, the bands that were big were Bloc Party and Franz Ferdinand – bands we thought that were style over substance,” says lead singer and lyricist Alex, “we realised there’s a lot of people that don’t really listen to bands, they just look at them. They like bands not for what they say or do or how good their music is. We’re a bit of a backlash to that.”

 

They’re the result of a mish-mash of influences, from Art Brut and the Sex Pistols to grime and keyboardist Mitchell’s love of drum and bass and techno along with backing singer Debbie’s funk background and drummer Nick’s experience in a metal band.

 

There’s just one rule: “When we write songs we want them to be danceable,” Alex declares, “we want it to be instant. We don’t write song with long intro, outros or breakdowns. We want them to be concise, loud and direct. People have said we’re Reading’s answer to the Happy Mondays - a party band.”

 

 

 

Formed in late 2005, The Bandinis play energetic post punk indie rock n roll songs about heartbreak and disappointment with upbeat tunes and catchy hooks. NME's James Jam referred to "Japanese Radio" as "the best song The Strokes never wrote", this prompted them to make an attempt at "breaking America" in May 2007 by playing one gig in New York. It might have worked if they hadn't been distracted by midgets dressed as superheroes and old Jewish men with stories of the war.

 

They can be seen playing live in and around the London area, and can be contacted via email at bandiniband@hotmail.com found on the internet at www.myspace.com/thebandinis and www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=17322848816

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Marvels formed in April 2006 after a bizarre orienteering accident led to a

heated discussion over who was the most talented member of Five Star. Six and a half hours later a bond had been formed that could not be broken.

 

Since then their sedated hyperactivity and vibrant tunerery has led to them being considered one of the top twenty live acts to have used the Popham services toilets. Miss them at your peril.

 

 

 

This Reading based seven piece band perform with
great energy on stage, their ambition and passion
for live performance shines through clearly. Highly
infectious, great music influenced by funk, soul and
hip hop, the ultimate floor filling equation.

 

Since hearing this band in December 2007 - the organiser of the 100% Tent has given them their first gig at 21 South Street in Reading (they headlined) - released a song on an album (100% Reading) - released their music on iTunes (Pullin' On My Strings) - organised 3 other gigs for them as headliners - been involved in them playing 2 festivals this year - along with tirelessly speaking about them to the press and radio.

There is no question that the support 100% Music gives to artists involved with them is second to none.
